Hotmail Log-Out Fail - - Security Issue?
 
Is there a Security Issue with Hotmail's "New Red Icon" (vs. Green)
indicating that I am NOT actually Logging Out of Hotmail when I Clk the
LogOut button?
The suggested fix for "Can't Log Off" is to Delete the Cookie with my "email
" in Internet Options/General/Settings/View Files, which
of course, I don't see; (Saw / Deleted "Default @ passport.com" but not
email address described)
Ultimate is to Delete all Cookies there which I'm not sure I want to do.
Anyone know if I'm open to back-door visits if I'm Not Logging-Out of
Hotmail?
Is Deleting All Cookies a big Deal to overcome in time? Thanks!

Craig,

It happens quite frequently to me. To check if your logged in to Hotmail
just go back there in the same manner you did the first time. If you're
logged in it will not prompt you to log in.
is how the cookie appears on a Win ME system. The
User Name appears on Win XP and most likely Win 2K.
